What a great loss to so many and society in general.
I, like so many, have lost a dear dear friend. Always
there for everyone no matter what and always smiling
and concerned about everyone else.
I feel so privileged and a better person for knowing her the
last l8 years. My deepest sympathy and prayers go especially
to Denny and family. She will be a hole in many hearts but
we will always have our great memories. I love you Jackie.

There are not nearly enough good words for our dear Jackie. She will be miss by all who knew her. My heart aches for you and your family, but thank God for the wonderful memories of a delightful woman.
